✨Let’s talk fasting insulin✨
Most labs will say that anything under 25 μU/mL (or 150 pmol/L) is “normal” for fasting insulin. But “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal.
Just like we now know that a fasting glucose of 99 mg/dL isn’t ideal, researchers are finding that lower fasting insulin levels — around 2 to 6 μU/mL — are associated with better metabolic health, hormone balance, and long-term wellbeing.
That’s closer to 10 ÎĽU/mL max, or 60 pmol/L if you’re using those…
